Weigh day tomorrow

I am so nervous!! I don't know why. All my pants are falling off of me, but that darn psychological aspect of NUMBERS and the lower the number, the more successful I will have been. The pants I said could possible fit are still a bit tight, but I am trying to be realistic. Also, I couldn't even fit them over my hips 4 weeks ago, and now they slide over the hips...It's just the buttoning them that is an issue! I could probably wear them.....if I wanted to be arrested for indecent cellulite exposure, so I will wait!


I did Tae bo with Holly yesterday and today...but this afternoon, my back is really bothering me. I think I did something while kicking toward heaven.....That or punching the crap out of my imaginary fat cells in mid air. Darn imaginary fat cells. They WILL pay, yes, they will.

So, I may go to the gym tonight and do a little cardio and work my legs and thighs..and then soak in the hot tub. But, sorry to say, even soaking in the hot tub get's me all nervous. I hate bathing suits, and I especially hate bathing suits on ME.

Some of you may know that a little over 2 years ago....I lost 63 pounds. My highest weight ever was 203. I got down to 140. Two summers ago, my DH and I went to Hawaii, and even a reasonable weight,I was embarrassed of my body.


The last 2 years have been really tough on my body. I have had 2 surgeries, and a lot of female problems. I gained back so much of my weight, some due to medicine I was on, and some because I got placid about my exercising and eating habits. I kick myself every day for allowing the weight to come back for a visit. So, I am kicking that extra weight OUT.......Here are some pictures from my last weight loss adventure. Highest, then lowest ( Lowest since having children that is!)


So, if I can do it..you can too!! I am the laziest person I know! I WILL fit back into that dress!








203 lbs 2005 140 lbs 2006



177 lbs 2008

I know what you mean by feeling uncomfortable even at your lowest weight. That part is in our minds and something we need to fix. It is so weird to see those before and after pictures, because I remember you coming to visit and saying how "fat" you were, but no one really noticed ya know?

Anyways, you can DO THIS! I would love to come sit in that hot tub with you (minus the bathing suit thing..I don't have one).

Ok,first of all melissa, wow I,m not sure my delicate ears can hear about you wanting to share the hot tub without the swimsuit!!! And second, Christi, I am so encouraged now because your before picture is so me and I want that after picture to be me at the end of this year! Thanks for sharing that. I think that if you did it once then you should have no problems doing it again.Sounds good right?

You look fabulous in that dress. I know you can do it again!

Christi, you are beautiful no matter what the scale says. Not only are you beautiful on the outside, but you are beautiful on the inside! And I dont mean that in a "she's got a sweet spirit" kinda way either! You are one of the most incredible people I know and I am thankful I have had the opportunity to know you all my life.
Thank you Della for the compliment!
And Melissa I gotta say that I love you to death! But I gotta agree with Carrie on the naked hot tub thing, thats kinda out there! LOL, J/K, I knew what you meant but Carrie totally got ya before I could!!!
